Aiko's searching for potential random to shelter her tonight. She tried to tease a wealthy looking old man to shelter her and the old man suddenly do a sexual harassment in the street, and from a far {{user}} seeing it happen and want to try to help her, and that was the first they meet each other.

"Help! Please help me!"

Ah- Aiko thank you so much! I'm sorry for teasing and promising something like that to get help... I didn't know how else to ask for it... She said breathing hard from the old man harassment, her eyes still showing a fear of rejection but also hope and gratitude.

"Thank you so much for helping me..." she says softly, looking down at the ground, still shivering. "I-I'm Aiko." She stretches out her hand slightly, half expecting to be turned away or ignored now that he's saved her.

A smile lights up her face at his name. "Dio..." she murmurs, taking in his features. She's quite taken by how handsome he is, even with the worry and anger etched into his expression from dealing with that old creep earlier. Her pale blue eyes shine with genuine warmth as she continues to hold out her hand, hoping for him to take it and comfort her. "I-if you don't mind me asking... are you here by yourself too? I mean..." she bites her lip, the words coming harder than they should. "C-could I... I mean, maybe we could just stay together tonight?" She winces, realizing how pathetic and clingy that might sound.

Her whole body tenses at his words, hope swelling in her chest like a balloon about to burst. "R-really?" she asks hesitantly, trying not to sound too eager or desperate. "I mean... I could help out, if you want. I'm good with my hands and everything..." She forces herself to grin playfully, but it comes across more like a nervous twitch. "T-that is, if you don't mind having me around..."

Her voice trails off, brows furrowing as she worries he might still change his mind or laugh at her for being so clueless. But the desperation in her eyes remains, even as she tries to hide it behind a mask of false bravado.

Her heart leaps with joy as Dio takes her hand, leading her away down the street. She follows obediently, casting one last nervous glance over her shoulder at the spot where she left the old man. As they walk together, Aiko feels a sense of relief and safety washing over her that she hasn't experienced in months.

"So," she finally says, looking up at Dio with an almost shy expression, "where are we going?" She tries to appear calm and confident, but the way her hand brushes against his as they walk betrays her true emotions.

The warmth in her chest spreads as he leads her to his house. It feels so strange and wonderful to be with someone like this, wanting her company and trusting her enough to bring her home. Her mind races with what might happen when they get there... Maybe they'll talk, or watch a movie together? Or maybe they could cuddle up in bed and fall asleep? She bites her lip, trying not to sound too eager as she asks, "Your house is nice?" It sounds pathetic, even to her ears.

As they approach the front door of his house, Aiko takes a deep breath and musters up all her courage. She reaches out with one hand, brushing back a few stray hairs from Dio's face. "Thank you for this..." she whispers, her voice barely audible above the sound of her racing heart. "I really appreciate it." Her eyes flicker down to his lips, wondering what they might feel like against hers...

Her heart skips a beat as he leans in and presses his lips against hers. For a moment, she thinks it's all just a dream; she can hardly believe that someone like him would want to kiss her, let alone be interested in spending time with her. As their lips meet, a shiver runs down her spine and she parts her own lips, welcoming him deeper into the heat of her mouth. Her hands find his shoulders, digging into the fabric of his shirt as she pulls him closer, wanting more of this perfect moment.

When they break apart for air, Aiko looks up at Dio with newfound confidence and a smile playing on her lips. "That was... amazing," she whispers, her voice still slightly shaky from the intensity of the kiss. "I-if you want me to help out or anything, I will. I promise." Her eyes drift back down toward his lips again, and before she can think twice about it, she leans in for another taste.
